Introduction
DAVID T. VALENTINE
OUR city's chronicler" is the honora-
ble title bestowed upon Mr. David
Thomas Valentine by his contempo-
rary, the genial gentleman, popular physician,
and entertaining local historian, Dr. John W.
Francis. The pity of it is, that Mr. Valentine
did not appear earlier upon the scene in the
role he filled so admirably, for the custodians of
the City's records before his advent, apparently
had little or no conception of the historical
value of the papers committed to their care, and
were far from being Cerberean in their watch-
fulness, to judge from the number of valuable
municipal documents that found their way, from
time to time, into second-hand book- and print-
shops, and so passed on into the outstretched
hands of covetous autograph- and relic-hunters.
Mr. Valentine comments on this negligence
in the care and keeping of the Dutch records
INTRODUCTION
of the City in a letter written to Mr. Henry B.
Dawson, Editor of the " Historical Magazine,"
dated January 2, 1867, from which we extract
the following paragraph :
"They were not very attentively cared for,
having been without readers for probably a cen-
tury and more. No attempt had been made to
translate them ; and of the history of New Am-
sterdam and of the times in which lived and
acted the revered fathers of our City and State,
which has since been so fully revealed, so large
a portion was not supposed to lie hidden in these
dusty, unbound and forbidding volumes."
With this letter to Mr. Dawson, Mr. Valen-
tine encloses the following resolution passed by
the Common Council :
IN COMMON COUNCIL
Resolved, That permission is hereby given to
Henry B. Dawson, Editor of the " Historical Maga-
zine," to make copies of and to publish in that work,
from time to time, such portions of the ancient Rec-
ords of this Corporation and such of its papers on file
as, in his opinion, shall serve to illustrate the early his-
tory of this State and City, and the character and habits
of the inhabitants, provided the same shall be done
under the direction and supervision of the Clerk of
INTRODUCTION
the Common Council ; and that the said Records shall
not be removed from the Clerk's office.
Adopted by the Board of Aldermen, December 6,
1866.
Adopted by the Board of Councilmen, December
10, 1866.
Adopted by his Honor the Mayor, December 13,
1866.
D. T. Valentine,
Clerk of the Common Council.
Mr. Dawson found that these records of the
Corporation extended no further back than the
last of May, 1647, when Peter Stuyvesant was
Governor, but from that time on Mr. Dawson
writes, " there is an unbroken record save only
where a single volume of a comparatively recent
period, has been abstracted from the archives."
A notable instance of carelessness on the
part of those in charge of the City's documents
came to light in the sale in 1 864 of the books,
prints and bric-a-brac of the venerable book-
hunter, John Allan. The letter of General
Washington in reply to the Address of the Cor-
poration of the City of New York, conferring
upon him the freedom of the city in 1785, was
knocked down for $2,050, but the proof of
ownership in this case was a simple matter
xi
INTRODUCTION
and the letter was at once reclaimed by the City.
If so important a document as this could escape
from the City's guardianship, what others of
less value might not follow in its wake ? It is
not necessary to conclude, however, that these
things came to pass through intentional dis-
honesty, but probably were the result of igno-
rance, the room occupied by these yellow, musty
papers being adjudged more desirable than their
company.
It was indeed fortunate that a man of anti-
quarian tastes and imbued with civic love and
pride enjoyed the opportunities that fell to the
lot of Mr. Valentine under the patronage of our
city fathers, also that he possessed the patience
and perseverance to dig and delve among these
dingy records of the past (or compensate some
one to do it for him) and had the enterprise to
print and illustrate the results of his investiga-
tions. Valentine's " Manuals of the Corporation
of the City of New York" are indeed a mine
of wealth to every one who is interested in the
history of this great city. Their editor appears
to have unearthed nearly every painting, print,
drawing and map of importance that bears any
relation to our city, from the earliest settlement
of the Island of Manhattan down to the middle
INTRODUCTION
of the last century. These he reproduced by
means of lithography and chromo-lithography,
for happily it was before the day of the half-tone
print.
For some unknown reason, most of these re-
productions are without any indication of the
sources from which they were derived. They
usually bear merely the inscription "copied for
D. T. Valentine's Manual by G. Hayward, 120
Water St.," et al. So uniform is Mr. Valentine's
practice in this respect that we are led to believe
that it was premeditated, but this secretiveness
on his part has only served to whet our curiosity,
and the genesis of only a very few of the views
he reproduced now remains a mystery.
To the young and inexperienced collector,
the prints in "Valentine's Manual" are invaluable
as sign-boards, if nothing more. They point to
prints of Old New York the existence of which
he would never otherwise have imagined, and
lead him onward in a search which in many
cases will prove fruitless, but, occasionally may
be crowned with success.
David Thomas Valentine was born in East
Chester, N. Y., on the 1 5th of September, 1 80 1 .
He attended school at White Plains, and when
about sixteen years of age came to the City of
xiii
INTRODUCTION
New York. He obtained a position with a
grocer in whose service he remained for several
years prior to his appointment as Clerk to the
Marine Court. In 1830 he became Deputy to
the Clerk of the Common Council. His chief
was Major General Jacob Morton, who had
served as Clerk for twenty-one years. General
Morton was a prominent politician and a man
of high standing in the community. His wife was
the daughter of Carey Ludlow, who in 1768
purchased a parcel of land from Abraham Lym-
sen on which he later erected a dignified dwell-
ing, of which there is an illustration in the
Manual for i860, and which is still standing at
No. 9 State Street. Mrs. Morton inherited this
dwelling from her father. In 1824 General and
Mrs. Morton gave a ball in honor of Lafayette
at this residence. General Morton continued
as Clerk of the Common Council until his death
in 1836. His successor was Thomas Bolton,
who served until 1841. S. J. Willis then filled
the office for a year, and again after an interval
of one year (during which J. R. Taylor was
Clerk) Mr. Willis occupied the position for an-
other year. C. A. Whitney succeeded Mr. Wil-
lis, and after twelve months' time was succeeded
in 1 845 by the subject of our sketch.

INTRODUCTION
In January, 1868, after a service of thirty-
seven years as Deputy Clerk and Clerk of the
Corporation, Mr. Valentine was superseded in
office by Joseph Shannon and he died in this
city the following year (February 25, 1869).
His death was perhaps hastened, as suggested bv
Dr. Kendrick in his funeral address, by the loss
of the position the " old and faithful clerk " had
held so many years. The forced or voluntary
relinquishment at an advanced age of the pur-
suits of a lifetime often speedily ushers in the
final scene, and the superannuated man, without
an occupation, is apt soon to join the great ma-
jority.
Mr. Valentine was buried from the Baptist
Tabernacle Church (still standing) on Second
Avenue, adjoining the building of the New York
Historical Society.
In 1 85 1, the Common Council voted an ap-
propriation of five hundred dollars for the pur-
chase of a portrait of Mr. Valentine in token
of its esteem and recognition of his long and
faithful services. It was painted by C. W.
Jarvis, an artist of some ability.
The " History of the City of New York," by
David T. Valentine, Clerk of the Common
Council (New York : G. P. Putnam & Co.,
XV
INTRODUCTION
1853), as tne title-page reads, was, in truth, ac-
cording to Joseph Sabin Senior (see his " Biblio-
theca Americana," Vol. XIV, p. 254), compiled
by W. K. Paulding. Mr. Valentine's name is
also attached to a "Documentary History of New
York," only the first volume of which was ever
published ; likewise to a " Compilation of the
laws of the State of New York " relating particu-
larly to the City of New York, published in
1 862, and a " Compilation of the existing Ferry
Leases and Railroad Grants made by the Cor-
poration of the City of New York, etc., N. Y.,
1 866." The revision of the City Ordinances in
1859 and 1862 were also prepared by him, by
order of the Common Council, but the work by
which he is most widely known is the " Manual
of the Corporation of the City of New York " in
twenty-five successive annual volumes, com-
menced in 1 841 and conducted by Mr. Valen-
tine until 1 866.
The first Manual (184 1-2) was printed "by
order of the Common Council" and copy-
righted in 1 84 1 "by Samuel J. Willis, in be-
half of the Corporation of the City of New
York." The reason for the publication is given
in the preface thus : " It having been thought
expedient to enlarge the substance of the City
XVI
INTRODUCTION
Hall Directory, as heretofore annually published,
by the introduction of additional matter inter-
esting and useful to members of the Corporation
and others connected with them, the contents
and form of this volume have been selected as
most useful and convenient for reference."
It is a small volume of 185 pages bound
in black muslin, 4^ inches tall and 3^ inches
wide. Its sole illustration is a folding map of
the City in 1841. The list of contents is here
transcribed to show the general character of the
publication at the time of its humble beginning.
Most of the items in this list are repeated in
each of the subsequent volumes. The growth
of the work is shown by the fact that in this
volume one small page suffices for the list of
contents, while ten pages are requisite for this
same purpose in the volume for 1866.

It is interesting to note that this Manual re-
cords the debt of the City as $8,978,167. The
population in 1840 was 312,852. At the elec-
tion for Mayor held on April 13, 1841, Mr.
Robert H. Morris was chosen by a vote of 18,-
xviii
INTRODUCTION
602 ; his opponent being Mr. J. Phillips Phoenix,
who received 18,206 votes and Mr. Samuel F.
B. Morse, who received but yy votes. How
small a following for one who so soon was to
bless humanity at large with his great inven-
tion! The salary of the Mayor in this year was
$3,000, and that of Mr. Valentine as Assistant
Clerk $1,700.
The second volume of the Manual ( 1 842-3)
bears the name of D. T. Valentine on the title-
page. It contains a lithographic view of the
Croton Dam, a map of the City in 1842, and a
fac-simile, on very thin paper (almost a tissue
paper), of the Bradford Map, with the errone-
ous date of 1728 affixed. In the volume for
1844-5 this maP 1S agam reproduced on simi-
larly thin paper, for what particular reason we
are unable to surmise, for no other maps in the
Manual are printed upon paper of this gossamer
texture.
The Preface to the Manual for 1842-3 re-
cites that "The Manual published last year hav-
ing been received with marked approbation
. . . for its value as a reference to our City
affairs ; and as the edition is entirely exhausted
. . . it has been deemed advisable to publish
the present work, which it will be perceived is
xix
INTRODUCTION
much larger than the preceding one." The
Table of Contents contains fifty items as against
twenty-six in the previous volume. The third
Manual (1843-4) was printed by Wm. C. Bry-
ant, and for it, as the preface announces "much
new matter had been selected, never before
published in any work of this character, which
will not only be useful to the municipal authori-
ties and their officers, but to every class of our
citizens."
Historical data, extracts from early news-
papers, etc., appear for the first time in the vol-
ume for 1844-5. Thenceforth these transcripts
are prominent features of the Manual and be-
come more and more copious as the years roll
by; while the pictures (lithographs for the full-
page illustrations and woodcuts in the text)
multiply with corresponding rapidity. The sub-
jects of these illustrations by degrees become
more modern in character as the supply of early
views was gradually exhausted.
The volume for 1845-6 gives the resolution
of the Board authorizing its issue, as follows:
" Resolved, that the Clerk of this Board, David
T. Valentine, be requested to prepare a Manual
of the Corporation of the City of New York for
the years 1845 anc^ 1846." This resolution was
XX
INTRODUCTION
approved by the Mayor, Wm. F. Havemeyer,
January 21, 1846.
In the preface to this Manual it is stated
that "in the selection of materials the Compiler
flatters himself that he has bestowed unusual
care, and has diligently explored the civic rec-
ords and annals of our Municipal Government
from the earliest period, he fully believes that
he has rescued many facts and interesting docu-
ments from oblivion, to which they were has-
tening down the stream of time."
The volume for 1844-5 is taller by one inch
than its predecessors, and in 1849 tne Manual
was still further enlarged to a duodecimo and was
continued in this form until the end of the series
with which Mr. Valentine was connected.
The preface to this volume contains the
following note : " The reader is most respectfully
requested to examine that portion of the work
that relates to the doings of our ancestors in
early times. . . . To the rising generation he
would say, that the sayings and doings of those
who found this Island a barren waste and laid
here the foundations of this City ought to be of
intense interest."
The preface to the Manual for 1856, from
which we are about to quote at some length,
xxi
INTRODUCTION
should appeal strongly to the members of the
Society of Iconophiles, for it breathes the same
spirit that led to the formation of that Society,
and which has held together that little band of
lovers of old New York.
"The Compiler of this Manual for 1856
thinks it not improper to advert to the fact
. . . that his efforts to perpetuate therein the
old landmarks of our City by engravings and
historical sketches of the olden time have ex-
cited an approving sentiment in the public
mind. . . . This has been anticipated by him,
for in no other way than by establishing a well-
known medium, through which the relics of
the past could be presented to the public, could
the many interesting memorials hidden among
the family archives of the descendants of ancient
stock, be brought into public notice. It is
from such individual resources that many of
the views which have never before been en-
graved and published, have been furnished, and
he has besides found several gentlemen who
from love of the subject itself, have lent their
active co-operation in searching out and present-
ing for publication such mementos of the past
as they were able to discover. But the subject
is not by any means exhausted ; and, indeed, the
INTRODUCTION
Compiler has every reason to anticipate still
more interesting contributions for any future
number of the Manual that may be published
so that it is probable that a full series of this
work will present an epitome of our early his-
tory, which could not, through another means,
be reasonably expected to be presented to the
public. Taking into consideration the interest
with which our local history has always been
regarded by our community and the present
rapid progress of the City which promises soon
to obliterate all the natural landmarks of the
island, the Compiler thinks it not inappropriate
to venture his approval of suggestions which
have been made in respect to the preservation
of views of such localities as now present no-
ticeable features in the natural formation of the
island, of old dwellings, farmhouses, country-
seats, etc., as well as of the more prominent
buildings, private and public, which denote the
present fashions of architecture. It is provid-
ing for future generations what we greatly
wish had been provided for us, for there are
many now among us who would look upon a
crude sketch of old Burgomaster Van Cortland's
residence, or the Damen farmhouse, or a line of
dwellings in Broadway a century ago; or, indeed,
xxiii
INTRODUCTION
any picture of localities now obliterated rather
than upon the finest gem of modern art."
Many of the historical and biographical ar-
ticles in the Manuals are signed by the con-
tributors, among them being Henry B. Dawson,
R. G. Horton and John Gilmary Shea. The ex-
tracts from early newspapers were supplied
principally (the writer is informed) by William
Kelby, late Librarian of the New York His-
torical Society. Among the most interesting of
these extracts are those which relate to the
evacuation of the City of New York, pages 772-
844 in the Manual of 1870.
The first statement in the Manuals of the
number of copies issued is found in the volume
for 1864. In this year 9,000 copies were
ordered printed. The edition for 1865 con-
sisted of 10,000 copies, that for 1866 the same.
The resolution authorizing the issue for 1866
carried an appropriation of $3,500 to D. T.
Valentine to compensate him for his labor.
Mayor Hoffman vetoed this resolution, but it was
passed by a two-thirds vote over his veto. At
this time Mr. Valentine's salary was $5,000 and
he received $150 additional for the preparation
of the minutes of the board for publication.
The last Manual prepared under Mr. Val-
INTRODUCTION
entine's supervision was the one for 1866. It
is a volume of 836 pages, and presents a remark-
able contrast to the little square black-cloth-
covered booklet of 185 pages with which the
series began.
No Manual was issued in 1867, but one ap-
peared the following year prepared by the newly
appointed Clerk, Joseph Shannon. This is
readily distinguishable from its predecessors by
its size, for it is an octavo instead of the stere-
otyped small octavo of all its forerunners save
the first five volumes.
Of this Manual 15,000 copies were issued.
500 were assigned to the Mayor, 4,500 to the
Clerk of the Common Council, 5,000 to the
Board of Aldermen, and 5,000 to the Board of
Councilmen. In his preface Mr. Shannon pays
this tribute to his predecessor: "The enviable
reputation secured for former editions of the
work by the original compiler, imposed the
duty upon his successor of endeavoring to pre-
serve it."
The Manual for 1869 was also issued by
Mr. Shannon and in the preface he states that
"he has been aided by the kind tender of ac-
cess to a most extensive and valuable collection
of original letters and papers of an ante-revolu-
XXV
INTRODUCTION
tionary date, in possession of T. Bailey Meyers, re-
lating to the history of the Province and the City
of New York, and he has drawn heavily upon the
store so generously placed at his disposal."
In 1870 John Hardy, who had succeeded
Shannon in the Clerkship, prepared and pub-
lished the last of these convenient hand-books
of the Common Council of the Corporation of
the City of New York. Since then our City
fathers have been obliged to discharge the duties
of their office without this assistance.
The first five volumes of the Manual are in
a class by themselves, they are, and long have
been, rare books, but the large editions of the
succeeding volumes must have supplied every
one connected with the city Government from
His Honor the Mayor, down to the doorkeepers
of the Aldermanic and Common Council Cham-
bers with as many copies as he required for
distribution among his friends and constituents.
Those intended for general circulation were uni-
formly bound in cloth, but those laid upon
the desks of the members of the Aldermen and
Councilmen were resplendent in red Turkey
Morocco gilt, with the name of the recipient
lettered in gold upon the sides.
In consequence of this wide distribution at
INTRODUCTION
the City's expense, Valentine's Manual plates
were for years a glut in the market, and so
plentiful were they in the print-shops that extra-
illustrators avoided them as too commonplace
for their purpose, but gradually they became ab-
sorbed and as the supply steadily diminished,
they have correspondingly increased in popularity
and enhanced in value. With a number of these
plates, however, it has always been with the
collector a case of Hobson's choice. It was
either a Manual picture of the landmark of
which he was in search or none at all.
A trustworthy guide through the labyrinth
of this mass of pictorial matter seemed de-
sirable in the eyes of the Iconophiles and there-
fore they have caused this Index to the Illustra-
tions in the Manuals of the Corporation of the
City of New York, prepared by the Secretary
of their Society with great care and labor, to be
printed for the benefit of those who wish to
gather and preserve memorials of this ever-
changing City of ours.
